Well this was my first cruise ever I am 25, and you know it was great. We flew in from the Texas the day before and stayed in downtown Miami at the Radisson. We got to the port at about 10am to board at 11. Boarding was east, just a CC and you set sail pass and your good to go. There was a group of 9 of us, it was just my wife and I in our cabin. We booked a E1 balcony and got state room 8282 which is midship. Deck 8 is three floors up to the pool and three down to the promenade. The cabins bed was great just so soft, I wish the A/C was cooler though. The mini fridge was great to have, I would just grab cokes out of there and get milk from the Windjammer and keep them in there too. The balcony was nice to sit on and have breakfast as well. The only thing I don't like about the Balcony is that you can see through the glass ever though its smoked glass, you can without trying look into other cabins. You know I didn't really even set on the couch that much either.

Day 1 Well its good busy day after check in, go to the pool which is great, I found the warmest on the whole ship is the kid pool in the H2O zone. The others were all cold, but I could still get in them. As we sailed out of Miami, the wife and I sat in the hottub in the Solarium on the port side and just watched the city sail away. At about 6 we went to the cabin and all of our bags were in the there. Dale our cabin dude!! always had a smile, the little things he did for the week was nice. I needed shirts pressed, he ask when you need them by, he did it by. Like putting the bags in the cabin it did it. Some rooms were left in the hallways, stuff like that, and always had a smile and ask about our day every time. You don't get that every where. There is a Welcome aboard show which is good, And thats where Ken Rush comes out and says Hi. That guy, well That Guy he works hard all week and is good at what is does. We went to dinner had the late dining, nice food, good table with a water view. OK staff there.

Day 2 at Sea I woke up at 4 am went for a walk around deck so quite and windy but nice off in the distance there was a other cruise ship about 5 miles away. I got Chairs in the solarium and just relaxed all day, that was the first time in over a year I have taken time away from work. We didn't even got to dinner that night. Just went to Windjammer, it was formal night but the hot tubs are great at night. Read more
